Re: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
#582There sure are a lot of comments here about USB2. I can’t imagine anyone actually giving a shit about it though. Wifi, Bluetooth, airdrop, etc. are all perfectly fine. What are you people plugging your phone in for other than just charging?
And 90% in our office have never plugged their iPhone in for charging, using MagSafe stands instead.

#583I'm still rocking the iPhone 6. Thanks though.
Re: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
#584IMO, this was a pretty weak announcement. They spent so long talking about environmental stuff, like getting rid of leather, that it felt like they were trying to pad the presentation to reach a reasonable length. There were a few new things (more optical zoom, slightly smaller bezels), but these were all leaked in advance. I was also disappointed to hear that the satellite stuff is limited to 2 years. Is it going to…
The sales and marketing people are running the company now
Re: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
#585I may be an odd on out here, but I'm not a fan of the move to USB-C. I don't care about data speeds or charging speeds. I don't even care about durability of the cable as they can be replaced. I care about durability of the charging port on the device and every USB-C device I've ever owned has become "loose" over time. This includes my iPad Mini, so I don't believe Apples has found a solution to this. Meanwhile, I ma…
Did you ever try scraping the bottom of the USB-C port with a bobby pin? I find over time pocket lint gets squished at the back of the port and stops the cable fitting in as snug. For some reason it seems to be more of a problem with USB-C ports than lightning ports.

#586Finally! At last they adopt USB-C! This has been the only reason I've not been using an iPhone for some time now. I love just having one cable that charges everything (phone, laptop, headphones, tablet, you name it - desk fans, white noise machines, thermometers, cameras etc etc etc)
Me too. Really like USB-C.
My only problem is that I wish it was easier to tell what cables can do what things. Only some of my cables are able to connect to displays/power my laptop
Re: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
#587So the only compelling reason to upgrade from the 14 is...USB-C, where people are saying the 15 (non-Pro) runs at USB2 speeds? This was one of the most lackluster Apple launches in recent memory. I long for the day when Apple actually innovated on this product line. Now they're simply treading water and only making good changes when forced to (EU requiring USB-C). I will give credit where it is due for Apple -- the M…
I mean, everything is "better". If cameras are important to you, you now finally have a bigger sensor that allows for 2x zoom at around the existing quality. The chip is faster and more efficient, so battery will get better too. If you wait 2-3 years between phones, you get something that's more significantly better. I've seen tons of comments here and elsewhere saying the 15 isn't that compelling compared with the 1…
Except it isn’t compelling to people with an iPhone 12 because we’re on the third S year in a row. Design hasn’t changed, camera bump has just gotten worse, yay USB-C but only nerds use that and everyone else will be pissed about needing new cables.
It isn’t compelling compared to anything after the 11, and they should be aiming higher.
Re: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
#588> ”It comes with one USB-C to USB-C charging cable - not sure if it is a data cable, also.” All USB-C cables must support USB 2.0 480 Mbps data transfer, at minimum. There’s no such thing as a USB-C cable that doesn’t support data.
Oh my, lots of cheap cables don't support data. Buy a $15 set of wirlesss Earbuds and check them.
Re: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
#589I can only say this: finally, a type-C port.
They got dragged kicking and screaming to this solution by European regulators. Glad it’s finally done, but good Lord that was too long coming.
You think Apple was dragged kicking and screaming into being able to sell the same accessories they have already developed but with a different connector?
Once the EU signaled they were going to mandate this, there was no reason to do it any sooner. When Apple changed from 30-pin, there was an uproar. “Now my iPod Alarm Clock doesn’t work with my new iPhone!”
Now gets it both ways: more sales, no blame. “The EU made us do it…”
Re: iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
#590Gutted that the iPhone mini is essentially dead. I don't want a phone any bigger. I'll hang onto my 13 Mini for as long as I can, hopefully they will update the SE to basically be the new Mini.
The small phone in general seems dead. Android phones don't even have good small options anymore.
I'm hoping that folding phones are here to save the day in a "the king is dead long live the king moment" as screens have become so big, they're now overflowing to being small again.
